So I am so happy for all the reviews you've written for me, but don't stop, because then I will have to Gibbs-slap you all. We are getting closer to the real action here, but you will have to hang on just a little while longer.


Tony walked in to the office at 06.45, Ziva and McGee were already there, one typing at the computer, one reading.

"Good morning," Ziva said when she saw Tony sit down at his desk.

"Hello Ziva," he said. She put down her book and rested her head on her hands.

"Not a good morning then," she said, raising an eyebrow. He shook his head and she decided to leave him alone.

"We have been relieved from any kind of work by the director because she wants us to be ready when the CIA arrives," Gibbs said as he walked into the bullpen with his coffecup in one hand and his coat in the other. The agents sighed, the only thing worse than waiting for the bloody CIA was waiting for CIA without anything to do.

"Great," Tony said and leaned back in his chair watching the dark-haired mossad agent infront of him go back to her reading.

Sometimes he could almost imagine Kate sitting at her desk but when he blinked Ziva came back. It wasn't that he didn't like Ziva, she just wasn't Kate. He decided to find something to do so he turned on his computer and looked at the desktop. It was a total mess, he started cleaning up and soon all the loose files were nicely organized in folders.

He was just about to find something else to do when this folder marked Panama, he frowned and opened it. In it was one file and he only had to read the name to now what it was. That stupid wet t-shirt picture of Kate. He hadn't deleted it even after she had died, it had become a memory of happier days.

"What are you doing, DiNozzo?" McGee asked.

"Nothing, Tim," Tony said. He closed the folder and picked up his phone and started playing games on it. He knew that McGee was watching him with worry in his eyes. Tony was getting sick of this constant worrying, Abby had started it three weeks ago when he had watched " boy in the buble" and remembered the hours he and Kate had spent in quarantine. Now even Probie was worried.

The phone on Gibbs' desk rang and brought Tony back from his thoughts. Gibbs answered it and finished it without saying a word.

"The director wants us in her office the CIA is coming." The team rose and they followed Gibbs up the stairs and Gibbs threw up the door and went Cynthia. Tony mouthed, Sorry, to the secretary as he went by.

"Please knock, Jethro," Jenny said when the team walked in. Gibbs just sat down without a word. Ziva rolled her eyes which made the director smile. Tony and McGee took their normal places behind the chairs.

"According to Tyler, you are cleared for reciving the information but he wanted to do the briefing in person," Jenny said.

"Well maybe he should show up then,"Gibbs said. Jenny gave him a look and frowned.

"Agent Tyler is here," Cynthia was hearded breaking the uncomfortable silence that had formed.

"Let him in," Jenny said. The CIA agent stepped in this time alone, he was wearing his shades. Ziva and Gibbs rose from their chairs.

"Well, Jenny we are even now, do you have any idea how hard it was clearing a Mossad officer for this kind of information," Tyler said smiling. Ziva glared at the CIA agent.

"Fine, but you still haven't paid for my car," Jenny said still in a very bad mood. Tyler decided to skip the small talk and started explaining.

"We have had an agent undercover as a doctor at Monroe University Hospital," Tyler started. "She is going to be here anytime now because I don't have the clearence or the information you need."

"Seriously can't you just tell us who it is." Tony said annoyed. Just then Tyler's phone rang. he picked it up and answered. He didn't say much except, mm and yes. Then he hung up.

"She is here now," he said when he hung up.

"I have an agent Terry out here," Cynthia said through the speakers.

"Please let her in, Cynthia," Jenny said rising to greet the agent. The door opened and a woman with red, shoulder-long hair stepped in. She closed the door and turned only to look into the eyes of her former partner. She could hear the team gasp.

"Kate," Tony whispered.


Yes, little bit of a cliffhanger I know. What will happen? :P

You will have to wait and see and while doing so you can take just those few minutes to make my day with a review :D
